Hi,
I have 2 questions.
Number 1:
this is one of my test pages
http://www.1id.be/pages/Hardsoft.php
As you can see when you go to the page you have my menu on the left side and an iFrame on the right of it. When you click one of the menu items my pageviewer loads in my iFrame.
But when you get on the page my iframe is blank. Now my question is, is it possible to always show the first item of my menu in my iFrame.
Second question:
This is another test page.
http://www.1id.be/test.php
Here i'm showing a news item on my page and when you click 'meer info' (translation: more info) you just get a white page, which is normal since my pageviewer is a white page because again it's purpose is to be viewed in my iFrame. So what i want is that my link 'meer info' links like this:
http://www.1id.be/pages/NL/news.php
with my news item loaded in my iFrame.
Thanks in advance
Berkowitz

Hi Berkowitz,
>is it possible to always show the first item of my menu in my iFrame.
Yes, create a list viewer called "firstPage.php" (or whatever you like), have it show all the same fields as the "page viewer" and set the perPage option to 1. Then set that as the src of your iframe.
That's one way to do it, let me know if that works for you.
>Second question:
I don't see an iframe on the test.php page? Are you wanting to open another page with an iframe and load the link in that?
Let me know.

Re: [Dave] News items
Yes indeed. on my test.php there is no iFrame. But my link 'meer info' has to link to
http://www.1id.be/pages/NL/news.php
on that page there is an iFrame and the artikel should be shown completly there. On my test.php it's only a summary.
thanks for the help on my first question.

If I understand correctly - it's really more of a html question. Which is how to load a page and then be able to specify the src of the iframe on the page (or iframe). We actually had the same problem when we had our docs in a frameset. We couldn't direct link to a specific page.
I've seen people do it with javascript and PHP. Here's a PHP way. You add this code to your page at the top:
Then you add this to your iframe to set the src
<iframe src="<?php echo $iframeSrc; ?>" ... >
Then you'll be able to direct link to a iframe loaded within another page like this:
parentPage.php?src=iframePage.php
You'll need to url encode urls with special chars like & ? # etc in them. The best is probably just to experiment with some test pages and links to get it all figured out.
Hope that helps!
